So I found out a few months ago that I was accepted to Washington State University as a Junior (I just got my AA from a community college, in which I had a fabulous theater experience overall), and I was ecstatic. I don't know how much any of you have been able to follow the news, or rather how widely the news would have even spread, but sadly, I found out about a month after I paid my deposit, the sorority application fee, and a few other non refundables that due to the economy, Washington State U-Pullman Wa, would be putting an end to their theater and dance program.

Needless to say, I was more then a little devastated. I needed to get out of my town, and it was too late in the year to apply somewhere else.
Fortunately the classes for both theater and dance will still be offered for about 2 years (hopefully the time it will take for me to graduate), so I can still take them to avoid getting rusty.

I also plan on seeing if there are some student films being done, and the school has "Cable 8" which is an award winning student run network in which I can audition to be talent, or I can get behind the camera experience as well as lights sounds, and other stuff that will help me with the broadcasting degree, which was second to the BA in theater I really wanted.

Sorry about the long background story, but basically what I wanted to know, was what are some other ways you all suggest to keep up my acting training, with no actual program available.
What are some books, blogs, etc to keep up my skills well I gain the awesome knowledge from a four year university! Any other advice you can give me, maybe like acting exercises as well?
Thanks!
